so with the brake disconeccted, pump the brakes for 30 seconds then what??? what does this do?

no just disconnect the battery, then pump the brakes dont ask me how but supposidly it drains all the circuits and resets the ecu, i actually tried it once with a prob and cleared it for a few montsh till i went power fc

ok so im just in from the shed and i have done the following:

1) took out and taped up every coil to cover any possible "cracks"

2) undid battery, let it sit for a bit while hitting the brake pedal and playing with the light switches (whats that ment to do if there is no power?) then reconected it all up again

now for the test run, i did about 20 standing starts, pushing hard through first gear all the way up untill hard in 4th.....and it was perfect, not one backfire, there was a small hessitant bit in one of the launches though....

but then as i went to take a corner hard in first gear over 4000rpm is backfired and coughed like crazy, this would suggest a problem either in the fuel tank pump or with the new fuel pump the previous owner put in????? only did it in corners under hard excelaration, like as if the force of the car was moving a pump and not picking up correctly???

cheers

how much fuel you got in that tank?........if its only doing it around corners now, you might want to consider fuel surge

ok sounjds like surge, i recommend taking out the pump and make sure it was put in properly possibly not set up correctly and the pick up is too high, if its like a walbro the pump will be small and maybe set up in the cradle to high, if she low on fuel take out the pump now!

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
